The gentleman generally well informed
has made his appearance again, this time
with the theory that Lord Salisbury did not
expect that the commission would settle the
fishery dispute, but merely sent Mr. Cham
berlain over here in the hope that the
warmth of his reception might convince the
English people that the sentiment here in
favor of HomeIule had been exaggerated.
This end, the generally well informed gem
tleman" thinks has been achieved, and here
after be predicts that Canada will be allowed
to shift for herself

The idea of forming Young Mems Re-
publican Club in this city, which was first
preached by correspondent of THE PRESS,
has taken form, and a vigorous organization
is the result. The purpose which the club
has in view is clearly set forth in the consti-
tuition published elsewhere. 1t is one that
will be cordially endorsed by all true Repub-
licans The evidence of interest among the
young men Of the party in this city which
the formation of this club supplies is a
healthful sign. Similar organizations are
springing up all over the country, and they
bid fair to exercise an important and whole
some influence on the future of the Republi-
can party.

The Hon. Samuel J. Randall has not been
converted by the Presidents screed. Nobody
that knew his record supposed that he would
be. He tells New York Herald reporter
that
"There will be a reduction of taxation at this
session of S60.000,O0 or more, but not on the ex
act line OF the Presidents suggestions as con-
"a large part OF this reduction will be in the re-
peal OF internal taxes, which the President seems
not TO favor-and reductions will also be made in
the rates of duty on imports.
"There can be such engagements of the free
list and reduction in the duiabe schedule as will
reduce the revenue from customs, without the
least injury to any of our established and useful
industries and without lowering in the least the
remuneration of labor.
81 trust and believe such wise counsels will
prevail as will secure the accomplishment Of these
objects
pealing the entire tax on all kinds and forms of
tobacco, and will go considerably further-in the
direction OF removal OF internal taxes-such as
destinations from fruits and licenses. Sugar
should not IN my Judgment, be inteffered with. A
conservative course of action will secure the de-
sired legislation; radical course will not"
Ii President Cleveland in his message cor
rectly voices the sentiment OF the Democratic
party there, as the New York Post observes
there is no room in it for men of such views
as Mr. Randall here proclaims. But VIII the
Democratic party bounce Mr.. Randall? 1t
certainly ought to if it agrees with the Pres
ident But next year Mr.. Randall will be
vary useful If the Democrats deem it
wise, as they probably will, to dodge the is
sue which the President has raised. So he
will probably be allowed to remain.

Doubtless it is for the advantage of both
countries that there should be good feeling

If President Cleveland reads the newspa-
pers he must be forcibly struck with the diff
ference between the responses Of Old Eng
land and New England to his message. In
the former there is nothing but cordial ap-
proval; in the latter there is very little APP
proval except such as the Democratic papers
perfunctorily grind out. The mill agents in
Lowell say the reduction of the tariff on cot
ton and wooden goods would cause total
loss of confidence in New England manufac-
turing circles, while the removal of the du-
ties on iron and manufactured machinery
would so depreciate the value of mill plants
that the next few years the corporation
would be occupied in making up the shrink
age. To do this reduction in the price of
labor wouldbe necessary, and manufacturing
industry would be at standstill, even if
many of the corporations were not involved
in ruin. The lumbermen, the fishermen, and
the farmers of New England, as well as the
manufacturers, view with alarm the Presi-
dents policy. But Ola England is enthusi-
astic as it has reason to be.

SHOULD BE SPEAKER REED.
washington Republican,
In the unanimous nomination of Thomas
b. Reed for Speaker of the House of Repre-
sponded to the plain demand of the coun
try. 1t Is only to be regretted that the rule
Of the majority does not hold in the con-
gressional elections, and that the principles
which Mr.. Reed represents cannot place
him in command. M. Reed is now entering
upon his sixth term In Congress, and his
constituents display rare good judgment in
thus continuing his service With every ses-
sion of Congress he has grown in power and
usefulness. He represents the Portland dis
trict on tue floor of Congress, but his name
stands for Republican principles throughout
the nation. Earnest in presenting his con-
victions, ready in debate, quick to detect the
vulnerable points in the enemy's position,
and bold in assailing them, it is natural that
the Republicans everywhere recognize his
leadership. Could the policy of fostering
American interests-for which majority of
the House was clearly elected-prevail over
the ruinous free trade theories OF the Car
Isle minority, Mr.. Reed would be Speaker,
and the majority would have chance to re-
duee the revenues, to promote education in
the South, to extend encouragement TO
American commerce, and to relieve the tax
payers, all OF which objects were defeated by
the ursurping despotism of the forty ninth
Congress. However, the cause Of honest
politics may be as well served by Mr.. Reeds
happy faculty of bringing Democratic false
pretenses to book.
